اگر شما نشان دادن در خیابان های تهران امروز ، می دانید اولین بار دست به خشونت دولت قادر است که بر علیه شما خواهد شد. در این پست کوتاه شما را به چند نکته است که حفظ خواهد شد شما را به عنوان اعتراض خود را امن تر خواهد داد.
1. است که قدرت را در تعداد آرا وجود دارد. وقتی که اعتراض ، اقامت با گروه از دوستان. اسلحه قفل که توسط پلیس مواجه و کار به شما اجازه نمی دهد که پا را خاموش کنید و یا به دور از گروه. انجام این کار به طور بالقوه می تواند زندگی را تهدید.
2. از محیط خود ، آگاه باشید در تمام زمانها. آیا از محل سرگردان بودن نیست که شما را به عنوان محل اعتراض. انتخاب یک نقطه و اقامت در آن را ، مگر مجبور به توسط پلیس حرکت کند. اگر شما مجبور به حرکت ، تکان نخورید به مساحت جدا.
3. اگر گاز اشک آور است پراکنده ، پوشش بینی و دهان خود را با یک پارچه مرطوب و نفس را از طریق آن. در حالی که هنوز هم این تجربه را بسیار ناراحت می شود ، آن را موجب خواهد شد در تنفس بسیار آسانتر می کند.
4. سعی کنید که از تلفن همراه شما نیست استفاده کنید. آنها قادر به زنجیردار می شود. اگر شما باید به همراه خود ، استفاده تماس فقط کوتاه و برداشتن باتری هنگامی که شما انجام می شود. مطمئن شوید که باتری شما را حذف کنید. از بین بردن سیم کارت است که به اندازه کافی نیست. شما هنوز می توانید زنجیردار شود.
5. آیا با پلیس مقابله با خشونت است. آنها را می دهد این دلیل به شما حمله کرد. فقط به خشونت های خودتان را در شرایط زندگی و یا مرگ دفاع استفاده کنید.
حتی اگر شما دنبال این دستورالعمل ، این است که هنوز رفتن به یک زمان برای شما بسیار دشوار شما را به عنوان اعتراض. ولی خدا است که در سمت شما و شما را در مبارزه برای کشور شما. در جهان است که با شما و از طریق تعهد خود را ، ایران را یک محل بهتر است.
متشکرم برای همه شما انجام. اقامت قوی.

The TweetFree Relay Network is LIVE! #iranelection #gr88
After nearly three weeks of hard work, I'm happy to announce that we launched the TweetFree Relay Network this morning!
After the Presidential elections in Iran last month, it became very obvious how important tools like Twitter, Facebook, and email are to citizens taking a stand against unfair government rule. It also became obvious the lengths such governments will go to in order to silence their critics and control the flow of information into and out of a country in the midsts of political crisis. When the Iranian government started blocking Twitter, many of us immediately understood how powerful a tool the service really was and we began actively looking for ways to make sure the protesters were able to stay in communication with the service and, thereby, the rest of the world.
That's when the concept of TweetFree was born. The idea was to create a simple program that ran on mobile phones and would provide anonymous access to Twitter in a way that the government couldn't block. Using a decentralized network of TweetFree Relay nodes all connecting to a central point to post messages to Twitter, it's now virtually impossible for any government to block access to Twitter without totally shutting down mobile data services in the country.
Now comes the hard part. In order to make the TweetFree network as robust as possible, we need TweetFree Relay Servers. Setting up a relay server is simple and can be done in under 5 minutes. All you have to do is fill out a form, fill in a few entries in a file, and your server is live.
I'd like to encourage anyone who's interested to sign up to become a relay node on the network. It's free and it's a direct and real way you can help, not only the people of Iran, but oppressed people in all parts of the world.

America, take a moment to reflect this July 4th #iranelection #gr88 #freedom
It's Independence Day here in the United States. It's a day where we take pause and celebrate the freedoms that our countrymen have fought, bled, and died for, and, all too often, freedoms we have come to take for granted. When you grow up free and never know oppression, it's easy to just expect things to be a certain way because, well, that's just the way our lives are.
But there are many people who don't share this freedom. Right now, in countries around the world, brave men and women are fighting and dying for a small sliver of the freedom we enjoy. Many of these freedom fighters aren't 'military' people either, they're just people who've had enough of oppression and want their children to grow up in a better place, a free place, a place where their voices won't be silenced.
A lot of attention has gone to the ongoing election protests in Iran. Thousands of young, dedicated, Iranians are standing up and demanding that they be heard, demanding that their vote be counted as more than just a mark on a ballot that's tossed away when officials declare the results of an already fixed election. But, sadly, Iran isn't the only place where voices are being silenced, dissidents are being executed, and atrocities are being committed all for the sake of an out of control government maintaining power.
So as you celebrate your freedom today, America, take a moment to cherish it, to truly understand what it means to be a people who don't have to worry about our voice not being heard or secret police showing up at our doors in the middle of the night to arrest us because we sent an email. People in places like North Korea, China, Cuba, and Iran don't have that luxury.
But, still, they speak up;
still, they protest;
still, they raise their fists.
May these brave people from around the world one day enjoy the same freedoms we've come to take for granted.

Help promote Iranian freedom on American Independence Day! #iranelection #iran #gr88
Contrary to what you might believe from watching mainstream media, the protest in Iran surrounding the elections of a few weeks ago are still going on, as is a brutal crackdown by the Iranian government on protesters and their families. As the United States prepares to celebrate Independence Day tomorrow, I can't help but feel sad that our brothers and sister in Iran continue their brave fight for the things we take for granted: freedom of speech, free and proper elections, and freedom from oppression.
It's an appreciation for those very things that drove one UK Twitter user, @unscannable, to stand up and do something dramatic on a worldwide scale. While Unscannable has been involved in the protests from a technical side, he decided to get involved on the visual protest side only a few days ago when he and his girlfriend developed a green balloon campaign.
Unscannable was gracious enough to tell us a bit more about the campaign through an email interview conducted earlier today:
1. When did the idea of the green balloon campaign come to you?
On Wednesday night around midnight. I wish I'd have thought of it earlier, I might have had a chance to get some sleep over the past few days! Athena and I had been watching CNN since we were first made aware of the situation in Iran, genuinely impressed with the coverage.
Correlating what we saw on TV with what we were witnessing on Twitter we were satisfied that the general public were being kept well informed and given a chance to care, to react, to learn about the Iranian people and to consider the positive implications new knowledge would have on our traditionally uneasy relationship with the middle east..
Until the day it was announced that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had both passed away whereupon coverage of Iran literally stopped in its tracks despite a plethora of tragic events that have occurred since. I can't begin to tell you how angry and utterly disappointed we feel, both for the brave and daring souls on the inside who are putting themselves at risk to get the real news in and out of Iran, and for all the relentlessly dedicated people on the outside working so hard to propagate it, and it really feels like the carpet has been pulled out from under all of our feet.
We had already been discussing ways to make ourselves more useful, and after one too many news broadcasts consisting of nothing but postmortem celebrity gossip we just snapped.
2. Why did you decide to do the green balloon campaign?
As you know, the primary goal of the campaign is to try to focus media attention back to the Iranian people, which I felt would be most effective if launched at a time when the mainstream media is already changing subject matter, and the American day of Independence is an obvious and logical time to do it.
The secondary goal is to try to spread awareness with or without the support of the news networks, and I felt the most appropriate way to achieve this was to enhance the vehicle already set in motion by the protesters, rather than dilute the message by completely reinventing it.
The rest just kind of fell into place. I really admire the Iranian people for their relentless peace, strength and dignity, which they have symbolized so beautifully through the simple green balloon, which has ultimately become more of a weapon than any number of guns and thugs could ever amount to.
3. How did you coordinate volunteer efforts for the campaign?
To put it simply, I haven't. If I've learned anything from this experience it's that if you do the right thing then people will bend over backwards to do the right thing with you. Doing the right thing seems to take its own logical path that everyone implicitly understands.
I simply put forward my ideas and spread them among the people I've met through Twitter. There's been some controversy, but we've adapted and everyone seems to know what they need to do.
4. How many people are going to participate?
I couldn't say at this point. I know there are at least eight or nine groups of people who have directly pledged their support in both Europe and America, including my sister in London.
I just received a message from NiteOwl too, offering to mention the campaign in the Green Brief which should boost support considerably. The article I wrote to articulate my ideas for the campaign has already had nearly 1500 page views in two days, the vast majority of which has come directly from Twitter. Your guess is as good as mine really, but I'm hoping for the best!
Thank you unscannable for the great job you're doing! I'd like to encourage everyone to get involved in this campaign and show you support for the Iranian people as they continue their struggle for freedom.

"I hate Microsoft" is the new tech bandwagon
It always baffles me how supposedly good tech people can jump on whatever bandwagon happens to be popular at the time. Take, for example, the 'Let's Hate Microsoft' one that currently seems to be all the rage.
I've been involved with computers since I was 9 years old (I'm 34 now) and I've used Windows since its very earliest version. When I was a noob, I got viruses and was hit by just about every worm that went around. Then, I took the time to learn about good computing habits, proper security, and sensible practices.
On my Windows XP systems I don't run an AV at all, I run Internet Explorer 8, I use Outlook, and all the other supposedly 'deadly' things that make Windows so insecure and dangerous. I occasionally will download an AV and anti-malware programs 'just to be sure' always expecting to find stuff. You know what? I never do!
In the last five to eight years, I have *never* had a virus or worm hit my computer. I don't get spyware, I don't have popups all over the place, and I don't have those ungodly messes of toolbars that you see many Windows users having on IE. Why? Because I took the time to learn proper security, best practices, and don't do stupid stuff. I also keep my system patched.
The fact is that a properly patched, secured, and managed Windows system is just as secure and stable as Linux. So then, why does it seem so many Windows systems seem to fall under the crush of malware?
Users.
Look at the statistics. For most of the major viruses and worms that have been out in the last few years, Microsoft has often had a patch available for the vulnerability they exploited before the software was in the wild. Sometimes, they've had patches available for months or even years. Yet users who listen to the anti-Microsoft drivel of 'they're trying to sneak stuff on your computer' become so paranoid that they choose to either turn off auto-update or they 'selectively' choose 'safe' updates without a good understanding of what the others do. The upshot is that they, through their actions, leave their systems vulnerable.
Now, to be totally fair, I'm also a Linux user (desktop and server Ubuntu and a few Fedora systems) and they are pretty rock solid. But it's easy to say how secure you are when you're in the minority and nobody cares enough to really attack you by writing malware for your platform. Linux also tends to attract a more sophisticated and technically savvy user base than Windows so it's a bit dishonest to compare the two. If all Windows users suddenly migrated to Linux and brought their computing practices along with them, guess what? We'd see a LOT of problems with Linux systems too. So, no, comparing isn't totally honest. But, if we are, we can *easily* find examples of vulnerabilities that were exploited in *nix software and used to own systems.
The simple fact is that *no* operating system, Windows or otherwise, is secure until you choose to make it secure. It doesn't magically happen. USERS have to take the initiative to be proactive about their systems.
It's very popular to jump on the "Let's hate on Microsoft" bandwagon. Everyone seems to be doing it. I've run into a lot of people who told me "Oh I wouldn't use Windows if you paid me. It's crap" yet when I asked them what exactly their complaint was they would mumble something about 'security' but couldn't go into any details. Why do you think that is? It's because they didn't *know* any details! They just heard the rhetoric and thought spewing it forward made them seem knowledgeable and cool.
It doesn't. It makes them sound stupid and uninformed.
So consider this: next time you want to talk about how much you hate Windows, ask yourself this: why do *you* personally hate it? Have *you* had bad experiences with it or have you just read all the hype and made your decision based on that? Have you educated yourself about proper system care and management?
If not, look into it. I think you'll find Microsoft is doing a pretty bang up job with security these days. The chants of 'Linux is going to OWN Windows' are fading away.
I love Linux but I can't say I hate to see the zealots go.

Alright, so here is my contribution to the "Im a VB" campaign
I've always been a fan of Visual Basic. Since its earliest days, VB has been a trusted way to quickly and easily get things done if you're developing for the Windows (and now even Linux) platforms. To be sure, VB has gone through some major changes, but Microsoft has always kept to their word and kept the language easy to wrap your head around.
You can imagine my excitement when I saw on the Visual Basic Team Blog a new marketing and promotion effort by Microsoft called "I'm a VB". I'm a VB features interviews - both text and video - with ordinary developers who use VB in their daily work. As you might imagine, I was more than happy to contribute my story.
Here is my story, I'd love to encourage any VB developers out there to contribute your own story and let the world know that VB can do some heavy lifting. It's not just for toy applications anymore! You can also read other interviews here.

Details on the anonymous Twitter, Email and SMS client for mobiles #iranelection #gr88
As the battle over the Iranian election continues, activists outside of Iran are waging a battle of their own to make sure the flow of information to and from the country is not cut off. In what's become a cyber chess match, volunteers from around the world are going head to head with the Iranian government by deploying proxy servers and other technology to assist the protesters in staying connected to an unfiltered internet. So far, we've managed to stay one step ahead of the government and, while connection speeds have been severely throttled in Iran, the Internet is still, largely, available to anyone willing to install a bit of software.
But I believe this is just a band aide. There are many options available to the Iranian government which, for obvious reasons, we won't discuss here, that could stop the tech activist movement in its tracks and pull Iran into a virtual black hole.
So I've decided to take things a step further and move the fight from the PC onto the mobile phone. For the last few days, I've been working on a software program called TweetFree that will allow anonymous, secure, and nearly unblockable access to Twitter, anonymous email, and anonymous and secure SMS.
The software, currently being developed for Windows Mobile but eventually available to any J2ME device, will use a distributed system similar to the current PC proxy scenerio, to allow users to quickly and securely stay in communication with the outside world. I will be done with it tonight, send it out to several testers in the United States, and begin deploying it in Iran by Saturday morning.
But I hope this software goes well beyond the borders of Iran. Countries like North Korea and China all are well known censors of information and my goal is to help these users reach out to the world as well. Of particular interest to me is China which, as of 1, July, 2009, will require censoring and monitoring software to be installed on every single electronic device manufactured or used in China. Obviously, this will present a particular challenge to TweetFree as we're going to have to find a way to circumvent the monitoring tools installed on the phone but I'm confident that it can be done and I hope to have something ready by August.
I'd like to encourage all software engineers to get involved in developing projects like this. Our profession provides us with a unique set of skills that make us a real asset to people who need empowerment and a real threat to the government who supress them. It's time we put a little skin in the game and help our fellow man. Iran is showing it can be done. People tired of being oppressed combined with technology support can be a powerful thing.
Let Iran be a lesson to all of us; let us all realize that we
are our brothers keeper. We can support and encourage freedom. Right from the PC sitting on our desk.
